Portfolio Architecture Portal
A markdown-first architecture and showcase portal for Azwaan’s AI venture ecosystem.
This repository is the single source of truth that explains the system of systems — how individual repositories, ventures, and services fit together — and, eventually, feeds a public showcase that communicates the scale and sophistication of the ecosystem.
The three layers
This portal deliberately separates three levels of explanation:
| Layer | Question it answers | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Repo-level docs | What is this individual repo and how does it work? | Inside each repo (README, docs, ADRs, CLAUDE.md) |
| Portfolio portal (this repo) | How do the repos, ventures, and services combine into a system of systems? | portal/ |
| Public showcase | How large and sophisticated is the venture ecosystem? | showcase/ — later target, not built yet |
Design principle Repo-level docs explain individual repos. The portfolio portal explains the system of systems. The public showcase explains the scale and sophistication of Azwaan’s AI venture ecosystem.

Quick start for a human editor
- Read the
Portfolio Overview— the executive briefing for the whole ecosystem. - Read
CLAUDE.md— it explains the maintenance rules for both humans and AI agents. - Skim
docs/information-architecture.mdto understand the navigation model. - To add a repo: copy
templates/repo-digest.template.mdintoportal/repos/and add a row toportal/registry/repo-registry.md. - To add a venture: copy
templates/venture-digest.template.mdintoportal/ventures/. - Record any significant decision as an ADR in
portal/decisions/.
Status
Phase D — ecosystem architecture review. With capability architecture in place, the portal now reviews
itself: a holistic, evidence-first EA review — Architecture Review,
Risks,
Strategic Opportunities, and
Recommended Architecture Evolution — with a proposed
ADR 0005 introducing a Platform Services layer.
Recommendations only; no architecture was modified. Earlier phases established the
Capability Architecture (Phase C) and the four processed systems (Phases B).
Still to come: adopting the review’s direction, full digests for the layer-4 consumer repos, the public
showcase website, and the automation skill (spec only — see
skills/portfolio-portal-orchestrator/SPEC.md).
